The Anti-Annuity Movement

The reverse mortgage has been around for over 60 years, but because of some early abusive sales tactics and its highly vulnerable target market, the product remains shrouded in controversy and misunderstanding. Donna and Nathan have a conversation with reverse mortgage expert, Garrett Duffy, to uncover some common misconceptions about reverse mortgages, and explain who should and shouldn’t consider them as part of their retirement income plan.

This material is intended for informational educational purposes only and should not be construed as investment advice, a solicitation, or a recommendation. Reverse mortgages are subject to risk, including possible foreclosure, high fees, and interest payments, and they may negatively affect your eligibility for various state and federal benefits. Please contact your financial professional for more information specific to your situation.

Considering a Reverse Mortgage

Also on MoneyTalk, lessons from Morgan Housel’s acclaimed book, The Psychology of Money, and Stock Trivia: Two Truths and a Lie.
